Borrowed Smile

[Verse 1]
I say yeah too fast
Before I know why
I bend my plans
To keep you satisfied
I read your face
Like it's a glass door
And I walk soft
Till my feet get sore

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the peace
I keep the line
I give you my yes
Then borrow my time
If you ask again
I’ll hand it away
Then I wake up empty
At the end of the day

[Chorus]
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I wear it all the while
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I give you mine, give you mine
I want to be enough
Without being small
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I can't keep this up at all

[Verse 2]
I rehearse your needs
Before mine can speak
I call it kindness
But it leaves me weak
My name gets quiet
In a crowded room
I make room for you
Then there’s none left for me too

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the peace
I keep the line
I give you my yes
Then borrow my time
If you ask again
I’ll hand it away
Then I wake up empty
At the end of the day

[Chorus]
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I wear it all the while
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I give you mine, give you mine
I want to be enough
Without being small
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I can't keep this up at all

[Bridge]
If I disappoint you
Will the sky fall down?
If I say “not today”
Will you still stick around?
I’m learning no
Can be a door
Not a war, not a wound
Just a little more

[Chorus]
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I wear it all the while
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I give you mine, give you mine
I want to be enough
Without being small
Borrowed smile, borrowed smile
I can't keep this up at all
